Confined Electron Model for Single - Bubble Sonoluminescence Lawrence
نویسنده
چکیده
The origin of sonoluminescence, the conversion of acoustic energy into ultraviolethisible radiation in liquids, has remained elusive. We propose that the emission arises from electrons confined to voids in the hot, dense fluid formed during the final stages of bubble collapse. Such electrons are produced by high-temperature ionization of the bubble constituents. A hard-sphere-based model was developed for the fluid structure, thermodynamics, and confined electron emission. The model is consistent with the observed spectral distributions, power output, and time scale associated with emission from single cavitating rare gas bubbles. Effective temperatures during emission in the 200-700 nm spectral window are predicted to range from 20 000 to 60 000 K.

We review recent attempts to elucidate the phenomenon of sonoluminescence in terms of fundamental principles. We focus mainly on the processes which generate the light, but other relevant facts, such as the bubble dynamics, must also be considered for the understanding of the physics involved. Our emphasis is on single bubble sonoluminescence which in recent years has received much attention, b...

Moving single bubble sonoluminescence has been discovered after searches to find the fluids other than water for observing SBSL. The main property of these fluids is their more viscosity rather than water. In this paper, after introducing the forces which act on sonoluminescing bubble, the moving of the bubble have been simulated. For this purpose, the bubble’s equation of motion is coupled w...
متن کاملSonoluminescence and quantum optical heating
Sonoluminescence is the intriguing phenomenon of strong light flashes from tiny bubbles in a liquid. The bubbles are driven by an ultrasonic wave and need to be filled with noble gas atoms. Approximating the emitted light by blackbody radiation indicates very high temperatures. Although sonoluminescence has been studied extensively, the origin of the sudden energy concentration within the bubbl...
متن کاملCavitation Thermometry Using Molecular and Continuum Sonoluminescence
The use of molecular and continuum emission spectra from multiple bubble (MB) and single bubble (SB) sonoluminescence (SL) is explored as a probe of bubble temperature during cavitational collapse. It is proposed that molecular and continuum SL arise from different chemical pathways, which occur during discrete intervals along the cavitational collapse time line, thus yielding different cavitat...

Single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is realized in air-saturated water at ambient pressure and room temperature. The behavior is similar to SBSL in degassed water, but with a higher spatial variability of the bubble position. A detailed view on the dynamics of the bubbles shows agreement between calculated shape stability borders but differs slightly in the equilibrium radii predicted by a ma...
